We are, in fact, just cool enough for this place. 2009
We're in our oh-so-cool room at the Ace Hotel in NYC listening to records - yes, vinyl! - on the in-room turntable, Joe reading Good magazine as I putter on the free internet. Hard not to want to stay at an Ace whenever one is available. So pleasing!

Correction: Joe is reading Paper, not Good. At least so far.

And now I can post to my blog and Twitter at the same time. TypePad, @sixapart, & @twitter, I kiss you!

Step by slow step, pulling it all together 2009
*phew* Even for web geeks sometimes this stuff can be such a long slow haul.
What I want is for my blog at MetaGrrrl.com to reflect all my online publishing as MetaGrrrl. That means, currently, that I want to have my tweets from Twitter and my photos from Flickr to appear inline along with longer blog posts.
It would also be swell if when I post to my blog, that would also be reflected in Twitter with a tweet.
All of this is made much more complex by the fact that I use advanced templates. Yes, I'm greedy; I want the maintenance ease of TypePad and the control of Movable Type. Fortunately, Six Apart usually gets me at least 80% of the way to where I want to go and frequently does so with more ease and elegance than I expected.
In theory, I've now linked my Twitter account to my TypePad account, but so far I haven't seen it actually work. Perhaps that's because the new little mini Compose function doesn't actually share out to Twitter, which seems bizarre since it's intended for short content, but might be true.

Aha. Finally found a Share This Post help page with some screen shots and I wasn't getting the options in the interface. I deleted the Twitter account and re-added it and now it seems to be tickety-boo.

Okay, so I don't need a TypePad Micro blog because my main blog has all the features & my goal is a single publishing stream. One point of confusion eliminated...

Catching up on website to-do's tonight... Still questing after that single lifestream of glorious integration.

As if the allure of all the good cocktail culture happening there and the proximity to excellent people like Matt Haughey weren't enough, now I find out that the guys behind the Neutra Face video are Portland-based.
Thank you, Portland!

Blog (noun) A weblog or similar brief journal usually containing links and commentary thereon. Term coined by Peter Merholz.
Visit Typepad or Blogger to start your own. (I began with hand coding, then switched to Blogger when it first became available, then to Movable Type when I wanted more control over my weblog and to have it hosted at a place of my choosing (Hurricane Electric). Now I use Typepad, built by the same folks who made Movable Type and I love it).
